I set bar height based on where I'm comfortable when standing (typical when

but I'm more comfortable and feel more in control when my hands are on the
levers on top. I will sometimes go to the drops to get out of the wind more,
but only when on the flats. Descending I can get every bit as aero with
hands up on top.

I guess a lot of it depends on what sort of descending. The descending
I usually do, I am more concerned with control and braking than with
ultimate aero. Tight and twisty, so usually aero isn't that important.
For the few "terminal velocity" type descents I encounter, aero is
important, but they are few and far between.
